dam to London with n cargo of tar, was
caught in a severe gale two days ago, in
which she had her sails all blown away
and her hulWarks and deck generally dam

was found that one of the tar tanks had

After being twenty four hours without food
or water, ON Thursday they signalled to

HALF a MILLION DOLLARS FOR
FOREIGN MISSIONS,

The well-known P. T. Barnum writes
to the editor of the Gospel Banner, our
Maine church paper, as follows:
Your offer to be one of one thousand per
sons who will give one hundred dollars per
year for five consecutive years, the interest
of which shall be expended for foreign mis-
sions, hits the nail exactly on the head. The
project is perfectly feasible, and from half a
million to a million of dollars can be secured
within six months, if all the friends of our
faith will resolve firmly that it ought to be
done and must be done. Let all our editors
and clergymen undertake to accomplish it
Let them preach and print the pressing and
manifold reasons why it should be done, and
that quickly, and the noble work can be ac-
complished.
Bat it must be done promptly, and with
will which knows no such word as "fail. ."
Among all cur parishes in the United States
there is probably not one which does not CON
tain at least one member who is able to fol
low your example. Numerous parishes have
from one to several scores of persons who
can do it, and some can easily pay double,
treble, and ten times that SUM, land not feel
it," though it is generally better to give so
much for a good cause that one does feel it.
l will give one thousand dollars the mo-
ment that that sum will complete the whole
amount which you propose to raise. Now
let us boom this good cause, not procrastin-
ate, but go ahead without moments hest
tation. Remember there is but one time
that we are sure of, and that is now. We
have no yesterday, and we are not sure of
a tomorrow. Now is our only positive chance
to do good thing. Let US do this good work.
To raise this half million or more in a few
months at longest ls thing to be proud of,
and the good which it will accomplish no
man can estimate.
Let each of our denominational papers
undertake to receive all names of responsible
parties, pledged as above, publish these
names when consent Is given and call for
more, and let every one of our parishes feel
a spirit of competition as to which shall raise
the largest sum according to its means.
When the requisite sum- or more, is pledged,
then let the first installment be sent to
one of our publishers, in checks payable to
the Treasurer of our United States Conven-
tion, who shall be the custodian of this noble
and God blessed fund
No mOping, no waiting, no sleeping over
it, but arouse, resolve and act promptly and
persistently, and we shall all be astonished
at the brevity of time in which it is accom-
plished. PHISEAs I. BAENUM.

WHO IS CHRISTIAN u
BY REV. S. CRANE, d. d.
tGaleshurg, lll.)
III.

In two former articles we have in
quired concerning the representatives
Of certain schools of thought, "Who is
Orthodox ?" We now ask concerning
the same, "WhO is Christian ?'' The
orthodox doctrine in one particular, at
least, is Christian. Its doctrine of no sal
vation except through faith in Christ,
is Christian doctrine. Christianity
knows only one door to the kingdom.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, lead
ing to obedience to his truth, and cul-
minating in a perfect life like his, is
the only way Of salvation known to the
gospel. 81 am the way, the truth and
the life; no man cometh unto the Father
but by me" Neither is there salvation
in any other, for there is none other
name under heaven given among men
whereby we must be saved"
Clearly, then, every school of thought
that opens another door to the kingdom
is not Christian. Those who teach
that men may be saved by following
the eight of nature" or by Obeying
conscience, are not teaching Christian
doctrine. But DR.. Withrow and Joseph
Cook and their schools do teach this;
therefore, in this respect their teaching
is not Christian. 1t is not only not or
thodOx, but it is not Christian teach
ing. Christ never taught any such
doctrine as that. II am the door,
''No man cometh unto the Father but
by me-" He does not say follow the
eight of nature" follow conscience,
but he says, "follOw Me-"
But while these schools are clearly
not Christian upon this point, the An
dover school is just as clearly Christ
ian. We do not say that this school is
Christian on every point in its teach
ing, but we do say that it very clearly
is upon this point. 1t holds that Christ
is the only way of salvation. Indeed,
it most stOutly insists that our destiny

press or implied. He puts himself 70
ward as the best of all arguments, in
citing God to forgive mankind and to
continue his grace to them, not in re-
turn for anything that he has done, but
in consideration of what he their
spiritual representative, the exponent
of their possibilities, the example of
what may be finally made of them"
In this, even by DR.. Cranes own rule,
he can hardly find any faint of heresy.

make men believe; and this belief saves
them. This last is the same as the
eternal life, which is made the result
of faith in other passages. Here as
elsewhere it is assumed that faith pro-
duces valuable results, involving good
works, so strongly urged by James in
his epistle. Faith does not "abide
alone"
The baptism alluded to in the COM
mandment to the apostles to preach
the gospel to the whole creation, sup
pose, is the baptism Of the Holy Spirit,
otherwise called the spirit of truth.
This spirit has cleansing effect, of
which the washing of water is fit EN-,
blem. The apostle says there is but
one baptism and of course this is
the baptism of the spirit Hence water
baptism, as we call it, is not strictly
baptism, but only the emblem of bap-
tism, else there would be two baptisms.
Besides, the washing of the body can
not purify the soul, though it may prop
erly represent such publication.
The following are legitimate deduc-
tions from justification by faith.
l. That the gospel is true. This fol-
lows from its influence for good. If it
were not true it would not justify men,
or make them righteous. Falsehood
has no influence to make men better.
,. God is a God of truth and right
eousness, and seeks to make his chill
dren like himself. 1t is a source Of
comfort to right-minded men, that the
Ruler of the world is such being 1t
seems too, to place the personality of
God beyond doubt; as we cannot as
cribe truth and righteousness to a mere
observation.
3. Men have the ability to exercise
faith in the gospel, and to become just
and good. They are not totally desti-
tute of all good qualities. There is ev-
idence enough that the gospel is true
and this evidence is available. Faith
is partly voluntary, and partly invOlun-
tary. 1t depends on evidence, and can
not exist without. So far faith is in
voluntary. The evidence is furnished;
but it must be pondered and weighed.
1t must be taken up and examined by
the judgment. So far faith is volun-
tary.
4. Justification by faith is of such a
nature as to authorize the deduction of
its universally. 1t comes from a source
that cannot be charged nor suspected
of partiality. There is the same reason
for its application to all, as to more
limited number. Every soul, too, is
susceptible to- the same influences.
One man can exercise faith as well as
another; and the gospel was designed
for ''the whole creation" 1t is no OBJ
lection that some do not, and others
cannot have faith in the present life.
Jesus is the Saviour of the world and
if the world is not saved now, it must
be saved at some future period. The
views that sprung up in the dark ages
concerning death, and the impossible
ity of salvation after death, are too
absurd to survive the light of the nine
teenth century. If men were brave
enough to ayow their honest convic-
tions, not one in hundred would now
be found who hold the opinions of the
last century on this subject They are
as dishonoring to God as they are alb
hOrTent to men.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-09-10

depends upon our relation to Christ
If ultimately our relations to him art
right, we will be saved; if wrong We
will be lost. That those relations may
be right, it insists that Christ must be
preached to every soul, and that every
soul must exercise faith in him and "be
confOrmed unto his image" in order tC
be saved. This is its most pronounced
position. Hence it knows no salvation
without Christ. Faith in Christ that
shall form Christ within u.s." that
shall make his life our life, is the only
way of salvation known to this school,
Manifestly then, in this respect, this
school is Christian. Its teaching is
not only orthodox, but it is Christian.
It is teaching just the doctrine that
Christ himself taught. These Ando-
yer men, therefore, we verify believe,
are doing much needed work in our
day. They are doing work that greatly
needs to be done. They are trying to
save the absoluteness of our religion.
They are preaching Christ not merely
as q Saviour, but as the Saviour. They
are making it possible to preach him as
''the power of God unto salvation, to
all men"
By extending the opportunity of faith
and repentance into the future, they
make it possible to preach Christ as
the door of the kingdom; as "the way,
the truth and the life," as the only
| name whereby we must be saved. If
you limit that opportunity to this life,
you cannot so preach Christ to-day.
You cannot preach him az absolutely
the door, if you close that door at
death, and hold that no man can enter
it after death. Say that and you must
make Christ only a door as we have
seen that DR.. Withrow and Joseph
Cook do; or you must send the whole
heather world to perdition, as the
fathers did.
But the latter cannot be done to-day.
Men will not listen long to a gospel
that damns the whole heather world
for not believing in Christ when they
have never heard of him. The doctrine
of faith and repentance after death,
therefore, becomes absolutely neces-
sary, if you would preach the fundamen-
tai doctrine of Christianity, that Christ
is the door, that faith in him and obe-
dience to his truth are absolutely nee
essary to salvation. These Andover
men, therefore, are doing much need
ed work. They are trying to stem the
tide that would take from the world its
absolute Saviour. They are trying to
keep the Christian church from yirtu-
ally repudiating Christianity.
There is great inclination to dc
this. Both in the evangelical and liberal
churches, there is large disposition to
ignore Christ as the absolute Saviour;
to preach him not as the door, but as a
door. There is a great tendency to
climb up some other way. 1t is very
helpful just now, therefore, to so in
terpret Christianity that its great fun
damental dCctrine-faith in Christ, alb
solutely essential to salvation, can be
preached
